Born in Chicago, IL, Loreal Palmer grew up in the small village of Robbins, IL. In 2005, her parents moved the family to Los Angeles, CA, as her younger sister, Lauren “Keke” Palmer’s career took off.  Loreal was homeschooled during high school while simultaneously traveling across the country with her sister writing music and occasionally singing backup during performances. Loreal was recently the breakout star of ABC’s, Claim to Fame, which streams on HULU. The show debuted with the highest ratings across all networks for women and the second highest ratings across all networks for total viewers, following The Bachelorette. Loreal won the competition by winning over the hearts and minds of her housemates and viewers by choosing to be transparent about her experiences growing up and feeling different, as well as the dissolution of her marriage and unconventional friendship that followed.  Since then, she has been flooded with people sharing their stories of being teased, bullied, self-consciousness, and how much it meant to them to watch her journey of self-empowerment. Loreal attended Pasadena City College before transferring to California State University, Northridge, where she is pursuing her degree in English Literature and Creative Writing in hopes of teaching at her alma mater someday. When she’s not busy with academia or her kids, she can be found filming her horror entertainment podcast, Live or Die, with Frank for KeyTV network.
